Introducing SCIM 2.0 Provisioning: Automate User Management in Linkinize

SCIM 2.0 User Provisioning Now Available in Linkinize Enterprise

Managing user access across your organization shouldn’t be a manual, error-prone process. That’s why we’re excited to announce SCIM 2.0 provisioning support for Linkinize Enterprise customers.

With SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), you can now automatically provision, update, and deprovision users directly from your identity provider. No more manual invites. No more forgotten access. No more security risks from delayed offboarding.

What is SCIM and Why Does It Matter?

SCIM 2.0 is an open standard protocol that enables automated user identity management between your Identity Provider (IdP) and applications like Linkinize. It’s the backbone of modern enterprise identity workflows.

The Problem SCIM Solves

Before SCIM, IT teams faced common challenges:

  • Manual user provisioning – Adding each employee to every app individually
  • Delayed offboarding – Former employees retaining access for days or weeks
  • Inconsistent user data – Names and roles out of sync across systems
  • Compliance risks – No audit trail of who has access to what

How SCIM Changes Everything

With SCIM enabled, your identity provider becomes the single source of truth:

Action in IdPResult in Linkinize
Add user to groupUser automatically provisioned with correct workspace access
Update user profileName and attributes sync automatically
Remove user from groupUser instantly deactivated, access revoked
Disable user accountImmediate offboarding across all workspaces

Supported Identity Providers

Linkinize SCIM 2.0 works with all major enterprise identity providers:

Fully Tested & Supported

  • Okta – Full user lifecycle management with incremental sync
  • Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) – Seamless integration with Microsoft 365 environments
  • Google Workspace – Native support for Google Cloud Identity customers

  • JumpCloud – Cloud directory platform
  • Ping Identity – Enterprise SSO and identity solutions
  • Any SCIM 2.0 compliant provider – Standard protocol support

Key Features of Linkinize SCIM Integration

Automatic User Provisioning

When employees join your organization and are added to the appropriate IdP group, they’re automatically provisioned in Linkinize:

  • User account created instantly
  • Added to designated workspaces
  • Ready to collaborate immediately
  • No invitation emails or manual setup required

Real-Time User Updates

Keep user information synchronized automatically:

  • Name changes reflect immediately
  • Department moves update workspace access
  • Role changes propagate across the system

Instant Offboarding

When an employee leaves or changes roles:

  • Access revoked within seconds of IdP change
  • User deactivated (not deleted) to preserve data integrity
  • Audit trail maintained for compliance
  • No lingering access risks

Workspace (Group) Sync

SCIM Groups map directly to Linkinize Workspaces:

  • Create workspaces from IdP groups
  • Manage membership centrally
  • Keep team structures aligned with your organization

How SCIM Provisioning Works

Step 1: Enable SCIM in Linkinize

Organization admins can enable SCIM from the Plugins settings:

  1. Navigate to Organization Settings > Plugins > SCIM
  2. Toggle SCIM provisioning On
  3. Generate a Bearer Token (shown once – save it securely)
  4. Copy your SCIM Base URL

Step 2: Configure Your Identity Provider

Use the credentials from Linkinize to configure your IdP:

SCIM Base URL:

https://app.linkinize.com/scim/v2

Authentication: Bearer Token

Supported Operations:

  • Users: Create, Read, Update, Deactivate
  • Groups: Create, Read, Update, Delete

Step 3: Assign Users and Groups

In your IdP:

  1. Assign users to the Linkinize application
  2. Configure group pushes for workspace sync
  3. Set up attribute mappings (email, name, external ID)

Step 4: Verify Provisioning

Once configured, test the integration:

  • Add a test user in your IdP
  • Verify they appear in Linkinize within seconds
  • Remove them and confirm deactivation

Security & Compliance Benefits

Zero-Trust Access Management

SCIM enables a zero-trust approach to access control:

  • Centralized identity governance – One place to manage all access
  • Immediate access revocation – No delay between IdP change and app access
  • Principle of least privilege – Users only get access to assigned workspaces

Compliance & Audit

Meet regulatory requirements with confidence:

  • SOC 2 Type II – SCIM integration supports compliance frameworks
  • GDPR – Automated data lifecycle management
  • ISO 27001 – Centralized access control documentation
  • Complete audit trail – Every provisioning action is logged

Data Protection

Your security is our priority:

  • Bearer tokens are hashed – Raw tokens never stored
  • TLS 1.3 encryption – All SCIM traffic encrypted in transit
  • Organization isolation – SCIM tokens scope strictly to one organization
  • No cross-tenant access – Complete data segregation

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to existing users when I enable SCIM?

Existing users created through registration or invitation remain unchanged. SCIM only manages users it provisions. You can gradually migrate to SCIM-managed users over time.

Can SCIM delete users permanently?

No. SCIM deactivates users rather than deleting them. This preserves data integrity, audit trails, and allows for easy reactivation if needed.

What if a user exists in both SCIM and was manually invited?

SCIM will not overwrite manually managed users. If you attempt to provision an existing user via SCIM, you’ll receive a conflict response. This prevents accidental overwrites.

Can I use SCIM alongside SAML SSO?

Yes! SCIM and SAML SSO complement each other perfectly:

  • SAML SSO handles authentication (who can log in)
  • SCIM handles provisioning (who has accounts and access)

Most enterprise customers use both together.

Which plan includes SCIM?

SCIM provisioning is available exclusively on the Enterprise plan. Contact us to learn more about Enterprise features.

How do I revoke SCIM access?

Organization admins can revoke the SCIM token at any time from the Plugins settings. This immediately disables all SCIM operations while preserving existing user data.

Introducing Linkinize AI

This one’s been a long time coming.

We’ve officially shipped the new Linkinize release with AI built in, and it’s already live in the browser extension stores. It’ll start rolling out to users very shortly.

This update isn’t about slapping “AI” on the product for the sake of it. It’s about removing friction from something we all do every day: saving links, finding them later, and actually getting value out of them.

Organizations today rely on a growing ecosystem of external tools and services. From developer platforms and cloud dashboards to collaboration suites and analytics portals, the average team juggles dozens of links every day. While these tools are essential, they also come with hidden costs: licensing fees, overlapping functionality, and the risk of underutilization.

With our new Insights plugin, Linkinize now gives organization admins the clarity they need to manage this complexity.

How Remote Teams Manage Bookmarks and Shared Resources

Illustration of remote team members organizing shared bookmarks in a browser window with tags and collaboration icons

Remote work is here to stay, but disorganized links and scattered resources are slowing teams down. The best remote teams don’t just work from anywhere—they manage knowledge from anywhere too.

Here’s how high-performing remote teams organize their bookmarks and shared links to stay aligned and productive.

1. They Use a Centralized Bookmarking System

Instead of saving links in personal browsers or random Slack threads, top teams rely on a shared workspace like Linkinize. This ensures everyone has access to the same resources, regardless of timezone.

How Marketing Teams Use Linkinize to Curate Campaign Assets

Campaigns move fast in marketing teams. Between creative files, dashboards, briefs, and ad platforms, links can disappear into chat threads and inboxes—slowing execution and risking missed deadlines. Linkinize turns scattered URLs into a structured, shareable and manageable hub so your team can find what they need in seconds.

Why Link Management Matters for Campaigns

Every campaign involves multiple moving parts:

  • Creative assets: images, videos, copy docs, brand guidelines
  • Analytics: GA4 reports, social insights, A/B test dashboards
  • Project docs: briefs, timelines, status updates, task boards
  • Ad platforms: Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn Campaign Manager

When these links are scattered, teams waste time searching and asking for the “latest version.” A curated link hub removes friction and keeps everyone aligned.

How to Securely Share Internal URLs with Your Team (Without Creating a Mess)

Illustration showing a team securely sharing internal URLs with user roles, tags, and permission icons

Internal links are everywhere—dashboards, documents, admin panels, staging environments. But without proper structure, sharing these URLs turns into chaos. Worse, it becomes a security risk.

Here’s how to securely share internal URLs with your team—while keeping everything tidy, accessible, and under control.

1. Use Role-Based Access

Not every team member needs access to every link. Group links by workspace, and set permissions accordingly—view, edit, or admin.

2. Avoid Open Google Docs or “Anyone with the Link”

We’ve all done it. But sharing a link with “anyone with the link” is an open door. Use tools that respect your internal user base and enforce authentication.

3. Use a Secure, Centralized System

Instead of Slack threads or spreadsheets, use a link manager like Linkinize to manage access, context, and structure around every URL.

4. Archive or Remove Outdated Links

Just because a link worked last quarter doesn’t mean it’s still relevant. Make link cleanup a monthly habit.

5. Don’t Share from Your Personal Account

Internal tools tied to your personal access may not work for others. Always copy links from a shared team account, when applicable.

6. Use Descriptions and Context

Why is this link important? Who is it for? Adding context to each URL reduces confusion and misuse—especially for new team members.

Final Thoughts

Link sharing is part of modern team workflows—but it must be done with structure and security in mind. Poor practices lead to confusion and risk. The right habits and tools keep your internal knowledge safe and discoverable.

Speed Up Employee Onboarding with Pre-Organized Bookmark Templates

Employee onboarding can make or break a new hire’s first impression of your company. The faster they get access to essential tools, resources, and processes, the quicker they can start contributing effectively. One underrated but powerful way to speed this up is by using pre-organized bookmarks templates.

Why Bookmarks Matter in Onboarding

Most roles today involve using multiple apps, dashboards, and internal documents daily. For a new team member, finding and remembering these resources can be overwhelming. A central bookmark hub acts as their compass—making it easy to find everything they need in seconds.

How Pre-Organized Bookmark Templates Work

  • Centralized Access: All key links—tools, login portals, process docs—are stored in one place.
  • Role-Based Collections: Different templates for sales, engineering, marketing, and support.
  • Secure Sharing: Permissions ensure that each employee only sees the links relevant to their role.

Benefits for HR and Team Leads

Using bookmark templates saves HR and team leads hours of repeated explanations and setup steps. Instead of sending multiple scattered links over chat or email, everything is organized and ready from day one.

Best Practices for Onboarding with Bookmark Templates

  1. Tag and Categorize: Use tags like “Login”, “Training”, “Tools” to help new hires find resources quickly. See our guide on using tags in Linkinize.
  2. Keep It Updated: Review templates monthly to ensure outdated links are removed.
  3. Integrate with Onboarding Docs: Include a link to the bookmark hub in your welcome email or onboarding checklist.

Example: A Marketing Team Bookmark Template

  • Google Analytics Dashboard
  • Brand Guidelines PDF
  • Campaign Tracking Sheet
  • Social Media Scheduling Tool
  • Shared Creative Assets Folder

How Linkinize Makes It Easy

With Linkinize, you can create multiple workspaces—one for each department or role—and pre-fill them with bookmarks. New hires get instant access to their workspace on their first day, dramatically cutting down setup time.

Next Steps

If you want to speed up onboarding and create a smooth first week for your team, start building your first bookmark template today. Try Linkinize free and see how quickly your team adapts.

Offboarding Employees? Don’t Forget to Revoke Links Access

When an employee leaves, most teams remember to disable emails and tools—but they often forget something just as critical: shared links.

From Google Docs and Notion pages to internal dashboards and cloud folders, ex-employees may retain access long after they’ve left. That’s a serious security and compliance risk.

1. Audit Shared Workspaces

Start with any shared workspace tools—like Linkinize, Notion, or shared folders. Remove or reassign access to bookmarks, tags, or folders linked to their role.

Linkinize for Agencies: Manage Clients, Projects & Knowledge Seamlessly

Illustration showing an agency managing multiple client workspaces with organized bookmarks and tag-based workflows

Agencies juggle dozens of clients, campaigns, and tools—often across multiple teams and timelines. Without structure, it’s easy for links to get lost, duplicated, or shared incorrectly.

Linkinize helps agencies organize their digital knowledge—making it easier to manage bookmarks by client, collaborate across departments, and work faster.

1. Create a Workspace Per Client

Keep each client’s resources—briefs, brand assets, dashboards, and docs—in a dedicated workspace. This keeps teams focused and prevents link leakage between clients.

Here are 10 habits you can start implementing today to unlock your team’s productivity.
